A search has grown in the mountains of northwest Nevada for a couple and four children who went to play in the snow and haven't returned after two nights of subzero temperatures.

Sheila Reitz of the Pershing County sheriff's office said Tuesday that additional rescuers had come from Douglas, Lander and Humboldt counties to help find the missing people. They were last seen near an abandoned mining camp where they had gone to play in the snow, local authorities said. 

The temperature in nearby Lovelock was 10 degrees below zero early Tuesday.

Crews are trying to find 34-year-old James Glanton, his 25-year-old girlfriend, Christina McIntee, who had taken their two children and niece and nephew, who range in age from three to 10, on the outing in the Seven Troughs mountain range, the authorities said. 

Officials say the group went to the Seven Troughs area at about noon Sunday in a 2005 Jeep. A search and rescue operation started a little after 8pm on Sunday.
